What cleaners
 
I have a 33 gallon with 1 - Green Spotted Puffer, 2 - Green Chromis, 1 - Bi-color Blenny, 1 - Lawnmower Blenny, and 2 - 3 Stripe Damsels. I have 40 pounds of crushed coral for substrate and 2.5 pounds of live rock (more coming on payday). My concern is the puffer. I have 1 unidentified snail in the tank that came with the LR and he has survived the month, totally irritates the puffer as it is to hard to eat. What kind of a cleaning crew could I have with this fish?

If it is going after a snail,.... probably nothing...... :rolleyes:

The puffer will eat any hermit, snail or shrimp in the tank. Maybe some small bristleworms to eat up uneaten foods but anything you have to buy will become puffer snacks.

it's probably not the right fish for that sized tank anyhow.

Right, thanks. That is kinda what I thought too, just needed a second opinion. I guess that I will try and get my 55 drilled, scared of HOB overlows, and set up another tank. The 33 should be big enough for the puffer by himself and the 55 will give me a lot of other options.
